President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said has urged the Public Interest and Accountability Committee (PIAC) to use its publications to provide the general public with a better understanding of how petroleum resources are managed.
He also stressed the need for PIY to clarify swiftly its position on matters should it be misconstrued in the media space.
Speaking at the launch of the 10th-anniversary celebration of the Public Interest and Accountability Committee (PIAC) in Accra, Nana Akufo-Addo reiterated the Government’s commitment to supporting the PIAC to ensure the efficient management of petroleum revenues for sustainable development, assuring that all budgetary allocation made to the body would be forthcoming and on time to enable it to fulfill its mandate.
“Government is committed to its continued solidarity with PIAC, and assures it of Government’s considerable interest in all of its activities,” the President said, hopeful that the co-operation between Government and the PIAC would be deepened in the coming years.
The PIAC, established in 2011, is an independent statutory body mandated to promote transparency and accountability in the management of petroleum revenues in Ghana.
The anniversary celebration is being observed on the theme: “Strengthening Citizens Ownership and Understanding of PIAC and its Oversight of Petroleum Revenue Management”.
